#3 - the color version looks better to me because the glow of the flame shows nicely in his face. might have come off a little better if more of the cigar was in view.
In my humble opinion both images work very well in b&w but as it has been pointed out, seeing more of the cigar in the second had added more impact to the portrait.

Thank you Ed.
I like the glow on the face as well
I posted another on with a cigar later on at the People or/and Black&white forum ...

I agree. The first picture is much more striking in B&W. The second picture is more interesting in colour.
Thank you for comments.

I agree that #1 is a bit of a awkward pose. #2 is wonderful in both color and B&W. I love the crop and focus of the eyes on the flame.
